A different U.S. Department of Defense policy paper created in 1963 discussed a plan to make it appear that Cuba had attacked a member of the Organization of American States (OAS) so that the United States could retaliate. The U.S. Department of Defense document says of one of the scenarios, "A contrived 'Cuban' attack on an OAS member could be set up, and the attacked state could be urged to take measures of self-defense and request assistance from the U.S. and OAS."
The plan expressed confidence that by this action, "the U.S. could almost certainly obtain the necessary two-thirds support among OAS members for collective action against Cuba."[20][21]
Included in the nations the Joint Chiefs suggested as targets for covert attacks were Jamaica and Trinidad-Tobago. Since both were members of the British Commonwealth, the Joint Chiefs hoped that by secretly attacking them and then falsely blaming Cuba, the United States could incite the people of the United Kingdom into supporting a war against Castro.[20] As the U.S. Department of Defense report noted:
Any of the contrived situations described above are inherently, extremely risky in our democratic system in which security can be maintained, after the fact, with very great difficulty. If the decision should be made to set up a contrived situation it should be one in which participation by U.S. personnel is limited only to the most highly trusted covert personnel. This suggests the infeasibility of the use of military units for any aspect of the contrived situation."[20]
The U.S. Department of Defense report even suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to attack the United States: "The only area remaining for consideration then would be to bribe one of Castro's subordinate commanders to initiate an attack on [the U.S. Navy base at] Guantanamo."[20]
Going forward, if you post something that is not 100% your own writing or work you must use the EX TAG, post NO MORE THAN 10% of the original (or three paragraphs, whichever is least), and GIVE A LINK TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL. If the work you are posting is not on the internet, from a book for example, you MUST give a credit for that Book ( the title), its Author and Publisher.

Fairly certain Tony Blair wasn't tricked into going to war.

The US funded, armed, fuelled and actively supported the rise of Germany during the 1930's, it was with this support that they launched the world war.

What were US motives for supporting Nazi Germany and what evidence do you have ?
And World War 1 ?

The same reasons the US always funds murderous dictatorships; self gain. The evidence is everywhere, not even hidden by the US government.
World War One was used by the US as it's first attempt to influence global politics with military force.

So the evidence is everywhere but you can't put your hand on it right now. What would the US gain from arming Nazi Germany ? Didn't Krupps have something to do with that ?
If the US was so anxious to "influence global politics with military force" why, in WW1, did they remain neutral until 1917 ?
You just come across as, for whatever reason, rabidly ant-american and your supposed history is nonsense.

Thanks for the replies everybody, but my question still really hasn't been answered.
I might be moving back to Switzerland with my family, and I am just wanting to put my mind at rest.
Basically, what I want to know is; are the countries that partook in the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq corrupt or just naive?

Absolutely corrupt and fully informed. (At least all the top brass).
Give credit to the intelligence gathering systems of even the most
lowly regarded countries. They know their business.
There is an ongoing worldwide conspiracy and anyone who even thinks of
speaking out is swiftly silenced.
Who has the strenght and reach to completely silence (own?) universities, medias,
governments etc., and nations worldwide?
The CC (again?)!
BTW 9/11 was completely staged/faked!
